Trials & Tribulations:::February to March

In my excitement about being back & chatting with you again, I totally forgot to mention the trials and tribulations I went through February & March.

I'm not asking for a pitty party, but rather, just providing a perspective on why it's not always peaches and raw creme.

Right around Valentine's Day, I fell out of the raw food, healthy food, real food lifestyle completely. I started eating refined sugar again and alas, headed to Starbucks in the mid weeks of March. It was terrible and my body became inflamed, but that strange inner voice that's not really me kept creeping in and convincing me that it was okay to just grab a chai tea and that tomorrow, "I'll start eating raw again." That's not how it works though because truly, "tomorrow" never comes. You can't live in anytime but RIGHT NOW.

The point of this story is basically that eating is not logical in this day and age. We don't typically eat intuitively, we eat emotionally. Even guys who eat cheeseburgers and drink beer with their friends watching the game, are eating emotionally. Think about it. They feel a certain way doing this & they meet a certain stereotype so even though it's not the typical girly carton of ice cream after a stressful day, it's still emotional.

So, back to this month about terrible regression. (I say terrible because of how I felt.) My self esteem plummeted, I started gaining weight immediately, depression set in and the pain in my body raced back in. Nightmare.

Then came that magical March 23rd and the healing session I mentioned in the last post. The practitioner I go to is amazing. He said, you're left side is inflamed from something you've been eating.

"Chai tea?", I asked.

"Dairy." He said. "Drink more green juices." He knew I was a raw foodie for awhile and so he was very frank in his directions.

After this session, I couldn't even look at foods that were other than the best ever for my body & I transitioned back into superfoods, superherbs, raw food goooodness.

Well love, the point is to be with your journey & know that you can only move from where you are and the important thing is that you move.

Love. love. LOVE. love.
